Best Transport for Tidal

The only streamer, (it's not really a transport) that I have heard that I liked better than my Sonos Connect, was the Auralic Aries.

I really liked the operating system MUCH better than the Sonos and it did indeed sound fuller and more open.

Excellent unit.

Swamp...it is detailed it here.

It's really pretty easy to do.

Here is the ickstream official forum pages.

You need to have LMS (Logitech Media Server) running on your computer. Ickstream is a 3rd party plug-in that goes into LMS. I found LMS version 7.8 to work the best.

On the links I provided above, just follow the directions. If you have any questions, look through the forum pages first, then post your question, if you can't find it.

The ickstream dudes are fantastic to work with and are pretty quick to fix problems.

I finally gave up with my Squeezebox Duet, (they told me that unit had a lot of unique problems that other models didn't have). I bought a Sonos Connect and haven't had a single issue with it and it sounds superb.

Good luck...

Beshair...I never tried the USB, but I did compare the coax and optical outputs of the Sonos Connect. I found the coax to be much better sounding. I tried several different optical cables, but really didn't like it.

Swamp...you don't install the Tidal webplayer. You install the Tidal App into ickstream. You have to follow kind of closely the instructions when you get ickstream installed, then install the Tidal App.

Once you choose ickstream on the Squeezebox, you will get a sub directory that has the Tidal App in it.

I agree with Scifi, have Neal do it, that's part of his service when you buy the MV.

Swamp...that's the same problem I had on my Duet and finally gave up and bought a Sonos.

I'm sure that Neal will be able to help.
